About: JJ and I offer a personalized approach to dog sitting that caters to the unique needs of each pup. With 10+ years of experience, we can provide dedicated care, giving younger/older dogs the attention and comfort they deserve. With us, your furry friend gets a home away from home, filled with love, care, and specialized attention. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily and weekly routine. Even though we both work full-time jobs, JJ's flexible school-year schedule allows us to devote ample time to caring for pets. We are passionate about spending time outdoors with our own dogs, enjoying walks and soaking up the sun. This active lifestyle ensures that your furry friend will get plenty of exercise and outdoor playtime, making them feel right at home with us. We care for pets in our home by providing a safe and welcoming environment. Our 6ft privacy-fenced backyard allows your furry friend to roam and play securely. With two friendly dogs of our own, your pet will have built-in playmates to keep them company. We can accommodate specific needs, including crating when necessary, to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure.
“Karie has been great this past week and I know she will continue that going forward. Since losing my wife last month, my life has been in shambles. I needed to go back to work and could not leave Maggie in the house all day, it wouldn’t be fair to her. And then I found Karie, she is doing a fantastic job making sure that my girl gets to go outside and take care of business and get some much needed exercise. I will continue to have Karie drop in to take care of my girls as long as she is available and I need the help. Hopefully Lucy will begin to come out of hiding and show herself more to Karie.”
“Lauren has watched our dog, Beth multiple times now and is always very communicative! She picks up on things going on with Beth - whether she’s hungry or needing a longer walk and responds accordingly! She has worked with our changing schedules flawlessly and is always happy to go above and beyond to make sure our dog is as happy as can be!”
“I have contacted Skylar around 3 times because my cats love her! she is a very good cat sitter and very mindful about my cats' eating times and needs! I will definately contact Skylar in the future :)”
“This was Amber’s maiden voyage with our pack. She did great. 3 out of 4 of my dogs highly recommend her. 1 of our dogs is an anti-social neurotic old geezer and he gave her a run for her money. We hope she’ll consider us using her again in the future.”
“Amanda took great care of my 7 year old tortie cat Skyler! She was very responsive , followed the care instructions perfectly, sent pictures, was punctual, and spent extra time giving my cat lots of love! I will definitely be reaching out again to Amanda for pet sitting and would highly recommend her.”
“Cierra is THE BEST! She is responsive, trustworthy, caring, and takes such great care of my cat when I’m on trips. I come home to a very content, calm cat, and have tons of great pictures from each visit. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Katlyn. With 10+ years in veterinary medicine, I know dogs inside and out! Whether it’s zoomies or slow strolls, I make sure every walk is safe, happy, and full of wag-worthy moments. I’m experienced with pups of all ages, temperaments, and special needs, so nothing fazes me. Your dog gets more than just exercise; they get a buddy who knows how to keep tails wagging. I currently have open availability and would love to take care of your baby! Let’s chat about a schedule that will make your life easier. I am more than happy to accommodate any schedule or routine that my clients have set for their pets. I’m experienced with administering medication in any form and will never rush your dog through potty breaks, meals, or play time.
About: We are big dog lovers! My dog is my kid. My family had a dog since I was in high school, I took care of her all the time. I was taking care of roommates’ dogs for most of the time during college. I am not working right now so basically I can play and take care of your pets 24/7. My husband is working from home, so he can also help anytime. We usually take our dog out for a walk 3 times a day and let her play in the backyard most of the time. No kids but we have one Bernese mountain dog. She is very gentle and nice to other dogs. We have a large, fenced backyard and I would let your dog out and play anytime.
“Jessica is amazing. She’s so thorough and truly cares about your fur babies! This is the second time she’s cared for our home while we’ve been away and I will always try to book her if we can in the future!”
About: I have 8 years of experience with dog sitting and keeping them overnight whenever neighbors, friends, or families go on vacation. Also I am willing to care for your little fur babies in the comfort of my own home! My neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, play, feed, and bathe their pets! I can care for up to 3 dogs at a time. And whenever I do dog sit I make sure I care for other dogs on a different day or weekend apart from your booking. I usually sit for dogs that are well house trained. They are free to roam wherever except for the beds of course. I have about a medium sized open yard but we also have a dog park that is not far from where we live. And I'll have easy transportation to get them there! I currently work part-time in retail during the weekday so I'm more open on the weekends for boarding that way I can give your fur baby as much love, attention, and affection as possible! I have about a medium sized yard but it's not fenced in. However I live not too far from a park that I'd be happy to bring your fur baby to if you're comfortable with me taking them to! If not, we live on a quiet and peaceful street that I'd be happy to them on a stroll down our block and back!
